Helminth Infections in Cattle and Goats in Kanchanaburi, Thailand, with Focus on Strongyle Nematode Infections.

Gastrointestinal helminths are major enteric parasites affecting the health of important livestock ruminants, such as cattle and goats. It is important to routinely survey these animals for helminth infections to allow effective management and control programs to be implemented. A cross-sectional helminth survey carried out in Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand, revealed the infection rate of gastrointestinal helminths in cattle ( = 157) and goats ( = 117) to be 35.

Molecular Identification of Enteroviruses from Cattle and Goat Feces and Environment in Thailand.

The identification and characterization of viruses of the genus in healthy and infected livestock, including cattle and goats, have been increasing. (EV-E) and (EV-F) are commonly found in cattle, whereas (EV-G) is found in goats. In this study, molecular and phylogenetic analyses were performed to determine the prevalence of EVs in cattle and goat feces from Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand.
